Mineralogy, petrology and ore geology of the Xerolivado ophiolites, Vourinos of Western Macedonia

Abstract

The present thesis studies the mineralogy, petrology and ore geology of the Xerolivado Mine ophiolites which belong to the Vourinos ophiolitic complex.The investigated area belongs to the Vourinos ophiolitic complex. The ophiolitic sequence consists of mantle rocks (mainly) and of a well preserved magmatic sequence. The mantle unit consists of hartzburgites and dunites which very often host chrome ores, whereas the magmatic sequence consists of dunites, gabbros, norites and wherlites. At the upper part of the magmatic sequence, diorites, diabases, dacites and granophyres are found.The Xerolivado Mine is located at Southern Vourinos (Mountain Flampouro) and it belongs to the base of the ophiolitic sequence of Vourinos. The chrome ore is hosted by serpentines which have occurred by ultramafic rocks that had originally dunitic composition. The Xerolivado dunitic body is the largest in Vourinos and it exposed surficial at an area of 3 x 1 km. Dunite is surrounded by hartzburgite, the domin ...
